Another major benefit of this is that the things that makes it trustable are very easy to understand.
If someone asks "why should I trust this count is correct" you can say "well these are the people that counted the votes - these are the people who watched (selected by parties A, B and C) and here's some video of it all happening".
That's a lot more comprehensible than "well, do you know what a blockchain is?".
Being trustable is great - but it also needs to be trusted!
- beat 8y agoIn another electronic voting thread last week, I had a highly upvoted comment describing the Minnesota paper voting system (credentials: I have been a MN election judge). Part of the beauty is that it's so easy to understand. You see all these interlocking checks, and how they work to make large-scale manipulation/fraud impossible. I don't think my mom knows what a blockchain is.
